You could get a .327 Magnum. They shoot 4 calibers (possibly 32 ACP too). Load it with 32 S&W short for practice. There's virtually NO recoil using 32 S&W short. Up the power a little bit to 32 S&W long or even 32 H&R magnum. I don't think she would like full power .327 Magnum unless it's a heavy full steel pistol.
